  1. 1. An identity property is a property that applies to a group of numbers in the form of a set. It cannot be applied to any individual number only.
  2. 6. The meaning of the word “inverse” is something opposite in effect. The multiplicative inverse of a number is a number that, when multiplied by the given number, gives 1 as the product. By multiplicative inverse definition, it is the reciprocal of a number.
  3. 9. Additive inverse of a number is a number that, when added to the original number, gives the sum of 0. In simple words, the sum of a number and its additive inverse is always 0.
  4. 10. Fractions represent equal parts of a whole or a collection. A fraction has two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator which tells how many equal parts of the whole or collection are taken. The number below the line is called the denominator and it shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into or the total number of equal parts which are there in a collection.
  5. 11. A factor of a number is a number that divides the given number evenly or exactly, leaving no remainder.

  1. 2. the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.
  2. 3. The commutative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer. The property holds for Addition and Multiplication, but not for subtraction and division. Let’s see.
  3. 4. The basic definition of multiple is manifold. In math, the meaning of a multiple is the product result of one number multiplied by another number.
  4. 5. The word “reciprocal’ comes from the Latin word “reciproc(us)”, meaning “returning” or “alternating.”
  5. 7. The absolute value of a number tells us how far a given number is from the origin on a number line.
  6. 8. Associative property is defined as, when more than two numbers are added or multiplied, the result remains the same, irrespective of how they are grouped.
